Hong Kong Lowers Duty Free Tobacco Allowance

Hong Kong has again revised its duty free allowance on tobacco products being brought into the SAR.

Before 1 August 2010 travellers could enter Hong Kong with up to 60 cigarettes each, but since 1 August 2010, a passenger aged 18 or above can only bring into Hong Kong for his/her own use the following quantity of tobacco products exempted from duty:

19 cigarettes; or
1 cigar or 25g of cigars; or
25g of manufactured tobacco.

This new measure does not affect departing passengers, only those entering Hong Kong.
